Chicago at Washington

The Chicago Sky and the Washington Mystics are both much-improved teams this season. The Sky won all of four road games a year ago, but has turned the corner with two wins in their first five on the road this season, including pinning one of only two losses on Seattle. Washington has stepped-up the tempo averaging 85.3 points per game over their last three, while in their first six they topped that average just once. That is right up the alley of the Sky who have played four straight OVERs, and saw their games average 168 points in the process. The Sky also has been OVER in seven of their last eight after a straight-up loss. The Sky will have an agenda that should bring their "A" game to this one, as they suffered a 17-point loss to Washington earlier - their largest defeat of the season. I'll go with Chicago and the OVER here.
